This is a great Sayid character study. I think the song really suited him and the lyric interpretation you did came out really well. I also really liked those cool transitions you used.

Thank you kindly! Out of curiosity, did the black-and-white verse to color chorus switches work? I wanted the verses to seem appropriately past-tense, and b/w was the most self-evident shorthand I could think of to get that across.

The page curl is, well, page curl, on WMM. The bouncing box is part of the PIP Transitions package. Glad you liked the use of both. I would have had only page curl, but that would have gotten tired after the fifth or sixth time, so I didn't want to overdo it.

Very nice character study! Great lyric interpretation as well (loved the line about the Musketeers and we see Sayid, Jin and Bernard)! Also, the b&w/color switches worked really effectively! Enjoyed it!

Thanks, Aislynn! Yeah, someone else not on LVI commented about the musketeers line. It's an awesome shot, so all credit to the cinematographer for that - but it begged to be used for the musketeers line anyway.

(PS sorry for Sawyer getting tortured in the vid. The stuff from 'Confidence Man' was perfect for those lines, though - especially as Sayid fully admits later to Kate that he became his enemy (per the lyrics), before setting off from the camp.)
